Thirty year old songwriter/producer based in West London, with over ten years experience in music as an industry professional, songwriter and producer and have worked with artists such as Slowdive, Saint Etienne, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Gavin Friday/Virgin Prunes, Goldfrapp & Erasure. I spent over eight years at BMG as a Marketing & Repertoire manager for their catalogue department, working primarily on the Mute Records catalogue as well as running high profile campaigns for the likes of Richard Hawley and Johnny Marr. I recently left my role at BMG to focus on my career as a songwriter, and currently produce music as one half of dream-pop outfit 'deary'. Deary has worked with the likes of Saint Etienne, Emma Anderson (Lush), Slowdive (Simon Scott), Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins / Bella Union) whilst achieving a UK #1 (Vinyl Singles) with our debut EP "Fairground" and has amassed over 600k global streams in two years. We have also garnered support from BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, NTS, KEXP, Brooklyn Vegan and Stereogum. Additionally, I have worked with producers such as Cam Blackwood (George Ezra), Charlie Andrew (David Gilmour) and Andy Savours (Black Country, New Road). More recently, I have been working with a number of young artists globally as a songwriter, engineer and producer, ranging from shoegaze, alternative, rock, trip hop and electronic music. I am proficient in Logic Pro X as well as outboard equipment and guitar with basic piano skills.
